I have seen some very old maps from the Chickasaw Cession that had Boguefala Creek labeled as Long Creek (possibly in reference to Longtown, the old Chickasaw town). But I think "bogue" in the Chickasaw language means "creek." And I think I've seen "fala" is a blackbird or crow. Would be interesting to learn what "gaba" means. Thanks for your comments.Bob Franks, Publications Editorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06044933010329922610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098246906338279953.post-90746101138388307882007-10-05T22:58:00.000-05:002007-10-05T22:58:00.000-05:00Bob,I am thoroughly enjoying your site and appreci...Bob,<BR/>I am thoroughly enjoying your site and appreciate so much the information you are sharing. Do you know how the Boguefala and Boguegaba creeks got their name? (Did I spell those right?) Are the names Chickasaw in their origin or perhaps the settlers from South Carolina gave the creeks their name? If anyone would know, I figure you would.
